1. NAVA, Milan-based project led by Nava Golchini.
2. NAVA, a post-hardcore band from Phoenix, AZ.
3. Nava, alias of Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Rodolfo Barrera.

1) NAVA is a Milan, Italy-based project led by Iranian singer-songwriter Nava Golchini, joined by Francesco Fugazza, Marco Fugazza, and Elia Pastori.

3) After years of writing hits for Elvis Crespo, Olga Tanon, India, and other Latin stars, Rodolfo Nava Barrera shines in the spotlight on his promising debut release, a showcase of soulful Latin pop with authentic sabor. The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter's throaty, rum-on-the-rocks vocals smoothly navigate a varied landscape of styles, from traditional island bomba and plena to romantic ballads, rock, and reggae. Nava swings effortlessly from the folkloric (the infectious La Vaquita) to the ethereal (the sitar-accented Agua Bendita). Nava could be accused of being too eclectic, but what he lacks in focus he makes up for in enthusiasm, which is obviously shared by the musicians accompanying him in the studio. A first-class lineup of talents (including Jerry Gonzalez on trumpet and percussionist Anthony Carrillo) stretches out, alternating hard-driving party rhythms with plaintive melodies. Like the pan-Latin hits of Carlos Vives and Mana's rootsy rock, Nava's contemporary arrangements have appeal for discriminating fans of both pop and Latin music. --Judy Cantor

Corazón Violeta
Nava Lyrics

Smoke out conversation - navas

Lyrically i see vividly when i puff it secretly,
My niggas keep it secrecy when they cross the trinity,
But y'all know, we live stringency,
Nine months till infinity, see how the love goes. Oliver queen and felicity'
That's right,
Work under the sun, I'm in search for the bright light, but i try,

Show remorse to no black man, still i survive and i cry,
Left my niggas on a five by five when i was in Accra,
Street fame and gangsters, burn some tress all they fort Knox on plasters,
Fake ass rappers claim they masters get roasted like rafters,
But I'm mastered, see if they find answers? I'm down with Casper
Smoke some weed with a rasta, read the Bible get locked on each chapter,
Burst out in laughter, phoney niggas think dey faster, in a blink I'm outta'

"getting high on my feeling, this high that I'm feeling, is higher than the ceiling, yall niggas keep hating, it's why you concealing, so when my shit drops. It'd be time you be cleaning" x2

Hold it, roll it, the whole weed fucking smoking through it,
Sit back and relax no stress, let your fucking brain do it,
Don't loose it, you gotta fucking use it till you dream on da lucid,
Don't tryna confuse me, say I'm evolutionary stupid?
Lost my fucking mind, say I'm mad? Coz i proclaim the fact,
I think they getting slashed it's funny like fucking Kevin and Hart,
But no fucking treatment better, mail your death in a latter,
Rip your feather to shredder, don't fly in a colder weather... You know better.

(hook repeat)

See I'm higher in my feelings, i got that fire on the ceiling,
My niggas be concealing they got that hating for a living,
I'm sniffing on some pennies it got me driven but am steady,
Friendly fairies come with they cherry berries, too many envy,
And too many ready with too many fleshes, but am too much a veggie to be friendly,
This homies in too scary with they guns they on to bury,
I got my hands all too sweaty, pray to God things don't get all too messy... Shit.

(hook till beat fades)

I don't apologize to any black man, yet I still survive and feel emotional

Left my niggas on a five by five when i was in Accra,
I left my friends in a tight spot when I was in Accra

Street fame and gangsters, burn some tress all they fort Knox on plasters,
The famous and gangsters destroy something valuable and protect themselves with weak defenses

Fake ass rappers claim they masters get roasted like rafters,
Fake rappers who claim to be experts get exposed and ridiculed

But I'm mastered, see if they find answers? I'm down with Casper
But I'm a master, let's see if they have any answers. I'm okay with Casper

I smoke weed with a Rastafarian and focus intently on every chapter when I read the Bible

I laugh out loud, fake people think they're better, I leave quickly when I need to

Don't lose your mind, use it until you reach lucid dreaming

Don't try to confuse me, you saying I'm not evolving?

Lost my fucking mind, say I'm mad? Coz i proclaim the fact,
If I say what's true, you call me mad because I lost my mind?

I think they getting slashed it's funny like fucking Kevin and Hart,
I think they will be punished, it's funny like Kevin Hart's jokes

But no fucking treatment better, mail your death in a latter,
But there's no better treatment, just send your death in a letter

Rip your feather to shredder, don't fly in a colder weather... You know better.
Shred your feather, don't fly in the cold weather. You should know better

See I'm higher in my feelings, i got that fire on the ceiling,
I am feeling elevated, my thoughts are on fire

My niggas be concealing they got that hating for a living,
My friends are hiding their hate as their way of life

I'm sniffing on some pennies it got me driven but am steady,
I'm sniffing on some pennies, I am motivated but stable

Friendly fairies come with they cherry berries, too many envy,
Good-natured creatures bring cherries, but there are too many jealous people

And too many ready with too many fleshes, but am too much a veggie to be friendly,
Too many people are willing to fight, but I am too peaceful to be hostile

This homies in too scary with they guns they on to bury,
My friends are too scary with their guns and they want to get rid of enemies

I got my hands all too sweaty, pray to God things don't get all too messy... Shit.
I am nervous, praying things won't get too complicated. Oh no.

"getting high on my feeling, this high that I'm feeling, is higher than the ceiling, yall niggas keep hating, it's why you concealing, so when my shit drops. It'd be time you be cleaning" x2
I am feeling elevated, to the point where this feeling is higher than the ceiling. You guys hate and hide your hate, so when my music comes out, you'll have to clean up.
